A strategic acquisition sees Derek Harmon of Harmon Powersports, Inc. expand his Kentucky powersports footprint, marking a new era for Gateway Cycles
MOUNT STERLING, KY / ACCESSWIRE / February 6, 2024 / NE Kentucky multi-location powersports and outdoor equipment dealer Derek Harmon has expanded his powersports industry influence with the acquisition of Gateway Cycles, Mount Sterling, KY, taking over from long-established owners (husband and wife) Carl and Eileen Rosania. The Rosanias, who have diligently run the dealership for over two decades, have grown it from a small parts and service shop to a renowned major multi-line powersports dealer and recipient of multiple Ichiban national dealer awards with Kawasaki and it consistently ranks in the top 2 for its region across all of its product lines. Dealing in top industry brands, such as Kawasaki, Suzuki, CFMOTO, SSR-QJMOTOR, Moto Guzzi, and Kayo, Gateway Cycles will continue its legacy from a nearly 19,000-sq.-ft. facility which was originally occupied by a Piggly Wiggly supermarket.
